Saving build queues?
 

Someone mentioned in a thread about a week ago something about being able to save build queues for use with other planets. I thought you could only do that in Stars and maybe in MOO3... but I can't seem to find the thread anymore. Anyone want to clue me in on this?

the "Fill Queue" button.

That was in the Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies {link} thread; the recent discussion (as well as the entire FAQ) has already dropped back to the 2nd page.

QUESTION

Is there a way to Save a Que and then Load it for another Planet?

ANSWER

1. Open either the Planet Que (Recommended) or the Construction Que.
2. If you opened the Construction Que, then select the desired Planet.
3. Fill the Planets Que with whatever you desire.
4. Then Click on the FILL QUE button fourth up from the bottom of the menu to the right.
5. Click ADD
6. Name your new Que and save it. (Good idea to include Facility number, ie 18 Storage, Or 20 Blattle Ship, etc)
7. Click Cancle to exit.
8. Next time you open the Planet Que of a new planet, Click on FILL QUE and choose the Que (you named them) that you desire.
9. Presto Your Planet Que is full.

Looks confusing, but I'll give it a try... I always thought the "Fill Queue" button was just to fill the queue with copies of the same item...

But now wouldn't you have to make nine copies of every queue, since there are five sizes of breathable planets and five of nonbreathable, but the largest nonbreathable is the same as the smallest breathable? That would be a pain... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It is a bit of work to set it up, but you only have to do it once. And as a bonus it is saved with your .emp file like ship desighns can so if you have a particular race you use a lot you don't have to set up the queues in a new game.
